...Heavy showers possible into Saturday...
Locally heavy showers will be possible into Saturday in the
Juneau area. Rainfall of 1 to 1 1/2 inches will be possible
during this time, with up to 3 inches at higher elevations on the
north side of Juneau. This rainfall will likely cause area rivers
and streams to rise significantly. Montana Creek may reach
bankfull by Saturday morning, while Mendenhall Lake may rise more
than 2 feet by Saturday afternoon. Another concern is the heavy
rain filling up Suicide Basin, then this rainfall being released
into Mendenhall Lake and River. If this scenario occurs, water
levels would rise even more, potentially to bankfull or more over
the coming days. Stay tuned to later forecasts and statements for
updates on this event.

- 1649: M/V Columbia Return to Service Delayed
Additional repairs are needed to propeller
system. The vessel is
expected to return to service July 26.
(JUNEAU, Alaska) – The Alaska Marine Highway
System (AMHS) announced today that due to
ongoing repairs the M/V Columbia will require
additional time at Vigor Shipyard in Portland,
Oregon.
This delay will impact some passengers. Affected
passengers are being notified by AMHS staff
now. The M/V Malaspina is currently running
in the Columbia’s place, and will continue
until the Columbia is back in service on
July 26. The Malaspina is a smaller vessel,
therefore some passengers will not get the
cabins they reserved and some vehicle reservations
will be cancelled.
The Columbia went in for repairs after a
suspected propeller strike with an unknown
object last September. The parts necessary
for the system required fabrication in Germany
and took several months to manufacture. The
propeller repairs were made and considered
successful, and the vessel proceeded to sea
trials to test the new system. While on sea
trials the vessel experienced another mechanical
failure related to the newly installed propeller
system.
Currently, technicians are working to diagnose
the new failure and are developing a new
repair plan. Once repairs are made the U.S.
Coast Guard and the American Bureau of Shipping
will certify the vessel as safe to operate.
For more information, please call your local
terminal or the AMHS central reservations
office at 1-907-465-3941 or toll free at
1-800-642-0066. An updated schedule will
be made available online at FerryAlaska.com.

- 1614 (Posted here at 0630 6/13): NWS: Weather
Radar major upgrades to begin June 16 with
the Biorka Weather Radar site which will
be down for approximately 1 week.
Public Information Statement
National Weather Service Juneau AK
414 PM AKDT Mon Jun 12 2017
...PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT...
The weather radar used by the National Weather Service Forecast
Office in Biorka Island will be down for approximately one week
beginning 16 Jun 2017 for technicians to install an important
technological upgrade. The work on the WSR-88D has been scheduled
to minimize any potential impacts to office operations and will be
delayed if hazardous weather is forecast.
During the outage, radar coverage is unavailable.
A crew will install a new signal processor, which replaces
obsolete technology, improves processing speed and data quality,
provides added functionality, and supports IT security.
This is the first of four major upgrades, known as service life
extension projects, planned in the next five years to replace and
refurbish major components of the 20 year old WSR-88Ds and to keep
the radars operational into the 2030s. The $150M investment is
being made by the three organizations that use these radars, the
NOAA National Weather Service, United States Air Force and Federal
Aviation Administration. The other service life extension
projects include refurbishing the transmitter, pedestal, and
equipment shelters.
The tri-agency Radar Operations Center, which supports the
radars, estimates it will take about 10 months to upgrade the
signal processor on all 159 operational WSR-88Ds.

...GLACIAL DAMMED LAKE RELEASE INTO MENDENHALL LAKE IS ENDING...
The water level on Mendenhall Lake is now falling. It reached a
peak of 6.3 feet around midnight last night, well below the flood
stage of 9.0 feet. As of 4 AM...the water level is down to 6.2
feet and will begin to fall more rapidly this morning. It should
drop below 5 feet by early afternoon, then fall more slowly to
around 4.4 feet by late tonight. Suicide Basin water level has
fallen more than 40 feet since it began draining late last week,
and it appears to be mostly drained with the sensor there showing
only a slow fall early this morning.

- Tustumena Return to Service Further Delayed
Extensive damaged steel on the vessel, more
repair work is needed. Vessel is expected
to return to service August 15.
(JUNEAU, Alaska) – The Alaska Marine Highway
System (AMHS) announced today that more wasted
steel was discovered in the engine room of
the M/V Tustumena and repairs will require
additional time at the Vigor Ketchikan Shipyard.
The Tustumena went in for its scheduled annual
overhaul on March 13 and was originally scheduled
to return to service on May 27. In early
May, damaged steel was discovered in the
engine room and the Tustumena’s return to
service was initially pushed back to July
18. With this recent discovery of additional
wasted steel, AMHS anticipates United States
Coast Guard approval for the Tustumena’s
return to service departing Homer at 5 p.m.,
Monday, August 15.
This delay impacts communities in Southwest
Alaska and along the Aleutian chain. Usually,
there are 10 trips scheduled along the Aleutian
chain each year. Because of these delays,
there will now be three remaining trips this
year, with the first chain trip commencing
on August 22.
The Tustumena is 53-years-old. A replacement
vessel has been designed, but is awaiting
construction funding in the pending fiscal
year 2018 capital budget. AMHS staff is contacting
affected passengers. For more information,
please call your local terminal or the AMHS
central reservations office at 1-907-465-3941
or toll free at 1-800-642-0066. An updated
schedule will be made available online at
FerryAlaska.com.
Coastal Transportation, based in Seattle,
continues to be an option for AMHS customers
impacted by the Tustumena delay. Coastal
Transportation can accommodate vehicles on
an as-able basis, at the same cost as AMHS,
transporting from Homer to Kodiak and to
Aleutian destinations. Coastal Transportation
can be reached at 1-800-544-2580 or 1-206-282-9979.

...GLACIER DAM RELEASE UPDATE FOR MENDENHALL LAKE...
The glacial dammed lake release continues on Mendenhall Lake due
to drainage from Suicide Basin. As of 1 pm AKDT lake levels have
risen to 5.7 feet. The river is forecast to crest just below 7
feet early Monday morning before a sharp drop in level. Flood
stage on Mendenhall Lake is 9.0 feet, so no significant impacts are
expected. There is still some uncertainty on timing of the end of
the release and potential for water levels to go higher depending
on how much water is finally released from Suicide Basin.

- NWS Summary of May 2017 Weather in Southeast
Alaska:
...A mix of above normal rain and beautiful spring weather this
May...
May began rainy across all of Southeast Alaska but quickly dried out
and by the 5th of May, sunny skies and above normal daytime highs
were observed. Some more rain spread over the Panhandle again at the
start of the second week of the month, but by the 10th of the month,
things dried out once again and temperatures rose to the upper 60 to
low 70s for the first time this year. Rain returned once again for
Mother's Day weekend, but by the following Monday, the sun once
again came out. An atmospheric river developed in the second half of
the month and a weather front brought record rainfall to a large
portion of the Panhandle from the 20th to the 22nd of the month.
Numerous locations recorded 24 hour totals on more than 2 inches. In
spite of this heavy rain, Panhandle creeks, streams, and rivers did
not flood. No significant winds were recorded during the first half
of the month, but windy conditions with gusts as high as 50 mph were
associated with the front that resulted in the record rainfall on
the 21st of the month. The month concluded with a fine Memorial Day
weekend that featured two days out of three with mostly clear skies
and warmer than normal daytime highs. The clear nights during the
holiday weekend and in the days immediately prior also resulted in
overnight lows down to or slightly below freezing in various
locations. This is later than normal for a last freeze of the
season.
- The Reflector, originally covered with a teal colored
fabric to try to blend in with the sky, was
built sometime around 1973 - 1974, definitely
by mid-1975 at the time the satellite earth
station at Lena Point was constructed; the
new system transmitted & received television
via satellite and also handled long distance
telephone communications. When I noted it
was under the control of CCBI that is because
the gray microwave dish(es), since removed
by them, that were on the roof of their building,
the former U.S. Dept. of Defense - Alaska
Communications System ("White Alice")
Station Plant Signal Building, then later
known as the RCA Alascom Building after privatization
of the system in 1969-1970, were in a position
to bounce the microwave signal to and from
Lena Point, any other location in downtown
or elsewhere would not work.
